Associates of Brett Favre say status of ankle will determine whether he plays for Minnesota Vikings
The Associated Press
MANKATO, Minn. -- Ready for another flip-flop? Brett Favre is planning to play for the Minnesota Vikings this season if his surgically repaired ankle allows it.
Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell and Favre's agent, Bus Cook, both said Wednesday that the veteran quarterback plans to play if he is healthy. He had surgery on the ankle in May.
Bevell has been close friends with Favre since he was his quarterbacks coach with the Green Bay Packers.
"I know it's a decision that he wrestles with," Bevell said after Wednesday morning's practice as Favre was throwing the ball around with high school students in Mississippi. "He's a great player. He's a great competitor. He mulls things over. He's an emotional guy. So he thinks things through long and hard and takes his time with his decision. So I'm not surprised that things started to come out. We just have to wait and see."
